INTRODUCTION
 LIBERO Smart Board is an excellent material of
construction possessing high strength, stiffness, impact
resistance, gain in strength with age, durability, and
mouldability. As it has no shape in its plastic stage, it
requires to be moulded into various forms using
formwork, which consists of the mould in contact with the
concrete, the structural supports, and hardware. Among
the most commonly used materials for formwork are
timber, plywood, and steel plates.

Formwork is a temporary means of supporting and protecting fresh concrete during casting
and hardening to give the resultant concrete structure a good surface, in the required
shape and size. A formwork panel must meet the following functional requirements
Formation of a structure with the desired dimensional accuracy, surface finish, strength
and durability.
Protection of the fresh concrete from damages.
Prevention of deformation to the structure from external pressures.
Retention of the fine constituents of the concrete till it hardens.
Ensuring hardening of the concrete without disturbance.
Protection of the concrete from excessive heat and cold.
Re-usability.
Libero range of Construction boards are exceptionally durable. It is, however, necessary to
take adequate care during storage and use, to derive the maximum advantage from its
use. A few important guidelines are given below :
Unload the panel carefully, lifting a few sheets at a time rather than sliding one over
another.
Stack sheets on a flat, level and raised surface in a clean, dry and covered place with free
circulation of air. Protect the sheets from strong sunlight and prolonged rainfall.

Avoid damage to corners and faces during handling. Do not drop the panels nor drag them
one over another.
When cut to smaller panels, seal the edges with synthetic paint or varnish.
When cut by a handsaw, use fine toothed cross cut saws. Do not use coarse ripsaws.
While framing, employ rear fixing with screws as far as possible. Avoid nailing through the
face of the plywood. Where, however, this is done, fill the holes or cracks, if any, with a
putty. Do not use very long nails, or too many nails.
Cover the formwork after erection to prevent contamination of the face by rust from
reinforcement or dirt. In case cleaning the face becomes necessary, use an air hose. Do
not use a water hose.
While poring concrete, use a moveable baffle to protect the form face.
Do not strike the forms with metal crowbars, etc., during stripping. Use wooden wedges.
Strip the formwork as soon as the concrete has gained sufficient strength to resist
damage.
Clean all the panels thoroughly after each use with a rag dipped in water. Do not use metal
scrapers or wire brushes. Do not allow the panels to dry too rapidly after cleaning.
Repair any damage to the surface film by applying three coats of synthetic varnish, after
the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. If there are nail holes to be filled, fill them with
wooden plugs or with putty.
After cleaning and repair, stack the used panels on level supports, off the ground, under
cover. Stack framed panels face-to-face and back-to-back, alternatively.
DISADVANTAGES OF SHUTTERING PLY
•

Plywood has a cross laminated construction and therefore it has to be cut using fine
toothed cross cut saws to avoid chipping off. Most carpenters are aware of this.
However, some times for reasons not known to us people do use coarse rip saws,
which are normally used to cut timber planks along the grains, to cut plywood into small
sizes. This results in producing heavy chipping off of the face veneers on the bottom
side. Some times this is mistaken for delamination. Delamination is a clean separation
of one veneer from another without any damage to the wood fibers. In the case of
chipping off it will be found that the face veneer does show good adhesion and that is
why it tends to “splinter” or “chip”.
Deterioration Of The Surface
Some times the plywood panels after some use will show surface “checks” and
discoloration on the face exposed to the concrete and will give the impression that the
plywood got “aged”. Such checking and discolorations take place when the plywood
face is exposed to sun and allowed to dry rapidly after wetting. When a wet plywood is
exposed to sun, the face veneer drys up rapidly and tends to shrink, while the core
restrains the shrinkage causing the face to get stretched developing hair line cracks.
Besides, the ultraviolet rays in the sun causes discoloration which is very typical of
wood.
Once the plywood face gets severely checked it has lost its original compactness,
smoothness and hardness and therefore its reusability will be severely affected. For this
reason users are advised not to allow the panels to dry too rapidly after stripping and
cleaning.
DISADVANTAGES OF SHUTTERING PLY

Libero Construction board has a surface made of rigid film. It cannot surpass the
limitations of the wood. It can be cut and scratched by sharp objects. Any such physical
damage to the surface sets off a gradual erosion of the fibres eventually reducing the
number of reuses. It is like a fabric which gets torn at some place tending to wear off
with every wash. When not torn or cut the same fabric withstands normal use and
washing for a long time. The site practices recommended by us are all aimed at giving
maximum possible protection to the plywood face with a view to help the customer get
the highest possible number of reuses.
Damages Caused By Nailing And Denailing
In some cases the core layers in a plywood will show signs of separation very close to
the edges. This can be attributed to what may be called “Cycles of Nailing and
Denailing”. Such a plywood might have been nailed to a wooden frame and then
denailed, and again nailed on some other frame and so on for a few cycles. During
these cycles of nailing and denailing, the impacts produced by hammering tend to
damage not only the edges and corners of the plywood but also the bonding between
the plies in the misused area. When such a plywood gets soaked in water the edges
and corners swell exposing the damaged bonding line and showing signs of core veneer
separation.
Precautions
Carefully fix and remove plywood for maximum reuse
Apply releasing agents or mould oils occasionally for easy removal of plywood

Nailing
Libero Construction Board is an excellent material for nailing in contrast to other wood
replacements as MDF , cement bonded particle board . Nails can be used a few mm from
the edge without cracking the sheet. Nails can be easily fixed on the face or the edges as
required.
Sawing and Cutting
Libero Construction Board can be sawed using ordinary short wood working hand saws
with fine teeth. Jig saws and circular saws can also be used. Sheet upto 6mm thickness
can be easily cut with a blade or stanley knife.
Heat Bending
One of Libero Construction Board many advantages in that it is easy to bend when heat is
applied locally. A uniform temperature of 115°C to 130° C over the area to be bent gives
best results. For right angle bends a 'V' - groove cut along the inside of the bend is helpful
. It is vital that the piece which has been bent remains held in place until it has cooled .
Screwing and Drilling
Screws can be fixed in Libero Construction Board on face and edges. Similar to wood th
screw holding capacity of Libero Plastic Ply is excellent but to get best results fully
threaded screws are best suited . For external joints provision should be made for
expansion by making the hole larger to the screw shaft dia' and large disc washers should
be used to cover holes to ensure adequte load distribution. It can be easily drilled with
usual spiral metal bits. No bit sharpening procedure is required.
Adhesive Bonding
As Libero Construction Board is water -based adhesives, FEVICAL-SH are not suitable.
Solvent based adhesive like PIDIVYL CP - 291 or fevicol SR 998 can be used for bonding
purpose.
